I once played with the idea. Unfortunately layout out a 200t startship
is tantamout to layout out a three story house. It's a lot of work. Sketching
it is much, much, faster.
Having been frustrated with this I started writing a program to convert
standard (Mega)Traveller ship design sheets (e.g. rsdean's impressive library)
into floorplans. Time prevented me finishing this.
If there are any skilled C (C++ would make certain aspects easier)
programmers out there who would like to give it a go I'd be more than happy
to explain the necessary algorithyms in detail...
